A fake seedling costs you twelve years
Tell us the size of your land and we will go and source the oil palm seedlings, only from licensed, labelled seed producers. We show you the batch certificate number before you pay.
What we can source
For land that is already prepared and going in the ground this season.
For anyone with a nursery of their own who can keep them a few more months before planting.
For anyone raising their own from the start, usually a large area and usually not their first time.
We do not put a price here, because it follows the producer and the size of the order, and a stale figure does more harm than no figure at all. Tell us the size of your land, we go and source it, and the price and the batch certificate number come back together.
The licensed seed producers we go to
In Indonesia, oil palm seed may only be distributed by producers licensed by the Ministry of Agriculture, and there are not many of them. These are the ones we go to most:
- PPKS MedanThe national oil palm research institute. DxP Simalungun, Langkat and Avros series.
- PT Socfin IndonesiaSocfindo. MT Gano and Lame series, known for land under ganoderma pressure.
- PT PP London Sumatra IndonesiaLonsum. Sumbio series.
- PT Binasawit MakmurSampoerna Agro group. Sriwijaya series.
- PT Tania SelatanSouth Sumatra, a licensed producer of germinated seed.
- PT Bakrie Sumatera PlantationsASD-Bakrie, in partnership with ASD Costa Rica.
- PT Tunggal Yunus EstateRiau, Asian Agri group.
- PT Dami Mas SejahteraSinar Mas group. Dami Mas series.
That licence register belongs to Kementan and it changes, so we do not treat it as a fixed list: what we check is the licence in force when your order is placed, not this page. Which variety suits you depends on the soil, the rainfall and the disease history on your land, and that is part of a consultation, not part of the price of a seedling.
How it works
We work out the number of palms from your planting distance and the state of the land, and then we know how many to look for.
From licensed, labelled producers. The price, the expected timing and the batch certificate number come together, before any payment.
Within South Kalimantan. Any claim about the condition of the seedlings has to be made within three days of delivery.
If you have already bought somewhere else, send photos of the label and the packaging. Checking them costs nothing. Five signs of a fake seedling you can spot before you pay is written up separately, so you can use it yourself standing in front of the seller.
